Study Skills Evening
Many thanks to all of the parents and pupils who came along to the study skills session on Tuesday 20 Jan. There were some talented jugglers amongst the group…and some of us who’s skills are clearly in other areas!
If you missed this ‘fun’ evening please click on the link above for some top study tips…although unfortunately you’ll need to wait until next year for another opportunity to take part in Miss Van Looy’s juggling lesson!
Creative Writing Group
The Creative Writing Club went to see ‘A Christmas Carol’ at the Citizens Theatre. Everyone was enthralled by the performance and it gave them inspiration for new stories. Here are some of the reactions:
 |
“Really good.”
“It let my creativity expand.”
“It was beautifully disturbing.”
“Magical.” |
The latest edition of ‘Barrhead Banter’, the group’s magazine, has now been published. Copies are in the English classrooms and the library, but if you want to read a story now, click on the link above.
The group meets in Room 35 on Monday and Thursday lunchtimes. New members are always welcome.
